Hl2.exe has stopped working. Recently I installed the Orange Box hl2 pack through steam and I have been unable to get most of the game to work. The HL2 game works fine but that is the only part that I can start. TF2, HL2 Episode 1 and 2 and portal will begin to load through steam then windows comes up with the error: Hl2.exe has stopped working. I have tried: uninstalling the games and then reinstalling them and disabling my firewall. The only thing I have yet to try is reinstalling Steam itself. Any suggestions before I uninstall the whole program? Edit: I also should mention: I am using vista, I have all the service packs that are available and my drivers are all up to date. |
There are plenty of possible solutions. Search Google, Orange Box vista stopped working there are plenty of possible solutions. Most center around re-installing the game or updating video drivers. |
all set up and ready to go. thanks |

Click "set launch options" 4. enter the cmd "-dxlevel 81" (without ") 5. click "ok" and close properties 6. launch the game 7. if the game is not working properly try the cmd "-dxlevel 70" setting the direct x level worked for me the fix can be found under steam troubleshooter under game crashes section allthough steam also tell you to type the cmds -nosound -window and +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 and these can also fix some games problems but it seems direct x is the only thing you need to change on gmod10 this is a link to the support page containing this fix https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7169-TIAV-5361 scroll to Set Game Launch Options and Disable Problematic Hardware |
